Rare criticism for Zimbabwe's President

Focus on Africa

About this episode

A group of prominent Zimbabwean war veterans, including a senior figure from the ruling Zanu PF party, have issued a rare rebuke against the country's president Emerson Mnangagwa. They've accused him of seeking to violate the country's constitution by pushing for a third term in office. What does this mean and how significant is this?

Also, we return to the story of the Malawian women facing abuse as domestic workers in Oman.

And who are the Lukurawa and why have they been designated a terrorist group?

Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers: Nyasha Michelle in London and Frenny Jowi in Nairobi Technical Producer: Frank McWeeny Senior Journalist: Karnie Sharp Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
